Trading Rules

News trading is permitted without restrictions (E8 warns about slippage on tier-1 releases).

Trading hours are 5:00 PM to 3:10 PM CT. Positions are closed automatically at 3:10 PM CT every day; overnight and weekend holding is not permitted.

Bots, AI tools and semi- or fully automated trading are not permitted, nor is HFT (more than 300 trades per day).

Hedging across accounts is not permitted, including your own. Accounts use netting — an opposite order closes the current position.

Trade copying is permitted only between your own accounts.

At least 50% of profit must come from trades held 10 seconds or longer.

Trade the front-month contract; positions within 2% of the price limit, all-or-nothing strategies and splitting a winning position to get around the best-day rule are not permitted.

Inactivity: the account is closed after 7 days without at least one closed trade.

4 Stars – Outstanding Service, But Premium Pricing

I can’t recommend this prop firm highly enough for its exceptional technology and efficiency. Their dashboard is unmatched, and the onboarding process is seamless—I received my Phase 2 account within minutes of passing Phase 1, and my funded account was activated immediately after signing the contract. Payouts are equally impressive: I requested my first withdrawal after just 8 days, and the funds arrived the following day. Key Strengths: Best-in-Class Tech: Instant account provisioning and a user-friendly dashboard. Lightning-Fast Payouts: Funds arrived within 24 hours of request. Flexible Rules: Unique ability to customize drawdown and profit targets. Consideration on Pricing: While the flexibility to adjust max drawdown (e.g., 10%) and profit targets (e.g., 8%) is a major advantage, achieving parity with competitors’ standard plans comes at a significant premium. For traders comparing costs, this could be a deciding factor. Verdict: A top-tier firm with unmatched operational excellence, but the value proposition narrows when customizing rules to match industry norms. 4 stars—still highly recommended, but transparent pricing adjustments would secure a perfect rating.
